Chapter 567 - Scandal

Tristan was now in the police station. He was sitting in the interrogation room as one police officer was trying to get his statement.

The police officer didn't know what to do. He felt like he was just talking to the air. Tristan was not answering any of his questions.

Unlike others, he could yell and intimidate them just to get an answer from them. But Tristan was different. He wouldn't dare do that to him. 

He was a member of the Davis Family, a very influential family in Politics, Military, and Business. A mere police officer like him could not afford to offend a member of the Davis Family.

However, they couldn't give him special treatment either since the one who complained about him was Clifford Sy, another influential figure in the City of Empire.

Who would have thought that their precinct would be put in this difficult situation after responding to the report coming from Sy Corp? 

No one expected that they would be caught between the clash of the two members from the two influential families in the City of Empire~ The Davis and The Sy.

He kept on asking him the reason why Tristan suddenly attacked Clifford inside his office but Tristan refused to answer. The officer just sighed in defeat. 

"Mr. Davis, we have to detain you here for the meantime. Please call your attorney to process your bail. We can't release you for now. I hope you understand."

But it seemed that his words had just fallen on deaf ears since Tristan didn't give him any response.

The police officer just took a deep breath once again while shaking his head. He could see that Tristan was not in the mood to talk to them.

He just shrugged his shoulders before standing up to leave. Tristan was left inside the interrogation room, lost in his thoughts.

Lots of questions were running in his mind right now.

Were the pictures fake or true?

How did it happen? When did it happen?

Why was Clifford half-n.a.k.e.d in the picture? Why did Zhen-Zhen look like she was not wearing anything under that white blanket?

Did Clifford touch his wife? Did Zhen-Zhen have s.e.x with him?

Just thinking about those possibilities, Tristan felt like he was losing his mind.

He knew Zhen-Zhen would never do that to him. But those pictures bothered him so much.

What if Clifford had forced Zhen-Zhen to do it? What if he had taken advantage of her?

He wanted to beat Clifford to death. He couldn't calm his angry jealous heart. He felt like he wanted to hurt someone and kill someone.

Then Tristan disregarded that idea. Zhen-Zhen could protect herself since she was stronger than Clifford.

So there were two possibilities left. It was either Clifford drugged Zhen-Zhen or she did it with him willingly.

'No! No! I should not doubt my wife! She will never betray me. This is what Clifford wants. I will not let him break our trust in each other!' Tristan thought to himself.

Tristan couldn't give his statement because he didn't want Zhen-Zhen's name to be dragged on this. Her reputation would also get ruined once other people would know the reason why he beat Clifford Sy.

If the photos would be released in the public then Zhen-Zhen would appear to be having a secret affair with Clifford Sy.

Tristan would protect her no matter what. But he was furious about this dirty trick. Clifford used his innocent wife again. 

He hated Clifford. He went overboard with this scheme. He couldn't tolerate nor forgive him now. He didn't even consider what Zhen-Zhen would feel about this.

Tristan unknowingly tightened his grip on the phone. After a few rings, his call got connected. It was Blake who was talking from the other line.

Blake: "Hello, good day! Thank you for calling the J & B Law firm. How can I help you?"

Tristan: "Blake, this is me, Tristan."

Blake: "oh, cousin. Did you miss us already?"

Blake still managed to crack some jokes and tease him, not knowing that his dear cousin was currently being detained in the police station.

Tristan: "I need your help. I am currently in the police station right now!"

Blake: "WHAT?!! What happened to you? What did you do? Are you okay? What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"

"Huh? Who is in trouble?" Jake's voice echoed from the other line. He overheard Blake so he approached him.

"Tristan! He is currently in the police station right now?!"

*Spat!*

"Cough! Cough!" Jake choked on his coffee when he heard that.

"What happened to him? What did he do? Is he okay? What's wrong? Why is he in trouble?" Jake said, just repeating his twin brother's question.

Tristan just shook his head helplessly. "I will give you the details once you arrive here. Just come here asap."

Tristan gave the police station address to his twin cousins. It did not take long when they arrived.

*****

Clifford's wound was being treated right now by his private doctor. He didn't want to leave his office while looking beaten up so instead of going to the hospital, Dexter just called Sy's family doctor.

Dexter was very silent when the doctor was treating Clifford. But deep inside, he was dying to ask him why Tristan got furious at him.

The doctor left as soon as he was done putting medicine on his cut and bruises.

Dexter was not able to hold his curiosity and asked his boss.

"What happened, Boss? Why did Tristan Davis come here, going wild as if he wanted to kill you?"

Clifford's lips stretched out into a wicked smile.

"Because he just got a taste of his own medicine," Clifford mumbled meaningfully.

At first, Dexter could not understand him. But later on, he remembered the pictures he saw accidentally on Clifford's phone.

With that, he already had a grasp of the situation.
